thought was good judgment in not

been dropping off one at time until
now they are nearly all gone and we

that daily paper cannot live in a
small town. No town of less than
5000 people can support any kind of a
daily while it takes town of at least
10000 to support a paper that will be
credit to it. A good strong: weekly
paper is worth more to town than
any number of puny dailies filled up
with stereotype plates and dead ads.
